A Week of Thanksgiving

Last Tuesday after school we headed South towards the beach. 

Wednesday we went to lunch at one of our favorites. Tacky Jacks. As usual, it didn't disappoint.

Fulton was a little sad on Wednesday. Early that morning we went down to one of the other condos and he touched a mirror that was leaning against the wall. Well, the mirror went falling backwards and crashed into the bedpost, shattering into a million pieces. It was a very large mirror too. Dad and Matt spent the morning getting it fixed. Precious memories, but thankful he wasn't hurt. 

Did I mention the whole family was here? There was about 17 of us in 4 different condos. 

It was so much fun seeing everyone. 

We did miss those who weren't in the country. My other two cousins are in Slovakia and Lebanon. Mema enjoyed loving on her great grandsons. She now has 4 great grandsons and one
more boy on the way. 

This technology is too much. Fulton has taken a liking to Aunt Keri's phone and gets a little possessive over it when you make him give it back. Ugh. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!  We do have so much to be thankful for. The Lord has blessed us far more than we could have ever imagined and we give him all the glory. 

We had an absolute feast to celebrate the day. We ate well the entire week and I haven't felt a hunger pain in several days now. 

The beach was beautiful. Fulton and Pete enjoyed a little after lunch gazing. 

We also celebrated Mema's 80th birthday while we were there. She had some helpers to get the candles blown out. Please excuse the fact that my child doesn't have a shirt on. 

We spent the rest of the day watching a little football and relaxing. 

Oh and then we went to the beach. It was still a little chilly, but it didn't stop this little guy.

As if we hadn't ingested enough calories, Friday morning the guys did their annual breakfast trip to Hazels. Fulton got to join in this time. He thought he was big stuff getting to go with the boys. 

After breakfast we all met up at the park. Caleb and Fulton loved playing together. 

These two are a mess. 

We met the crew at The Shrimp Basket for lunch. 

We spent Friday night relaxing in anticipation of the big AL game the next day. 

All the guys spent Saturday morning playing golf. Poor Fulton didn't get to go and he had to come shopping with the girls instead. I think he enjoyed it, but we won't tell daddy. 

We made a last minute stop at Sea N Suds for lunch, but the line was too long so we decided to head home. It was getting close to game time. 

We are going to skip over the game part. This was pretty much the look on everyone's face. At least the food and the company was good. 

We stayed up late Saturday night because we didn't want the week to end (that and the fact that we were mourning a loss). It was such a blessing to be able to get together with our whole family and be together for a week. It's rare we get to spend this much time together with our out of town family. 

To say we are worn out is an understatement. But it was fun. Happy Thanksgiving!
